18" wheel ?
i have a friend that has custom wheels on his camaro z28 18x8.5 with o offset and 4" backspace, would these wheels fit? i am about 2 hours from him, and i would hate to make the drive with me working alot,my concern is the hub in the middle? thanks wheels will be going on my 77 vette.

i have a 93Z-28. in my research i've discovered that you can use the front wheels from a late corvette all the way around a camaro. so, i would think you would need the spacers like if your where putting on late corvette wheels. the bolt pattern will be the same.

The only thing to remember is the shape of the wheel, a stock 'vette brake caliper is slightly proud of th ebrake mounting face...so the shape of the wheel's spokes need to be considered. Do you know the make/model of wheel?

the numbers garay77n84 has given are a little off
18x8.5"
0 offset
4" backspace
on a 8.5" wide wheel and 0 offset, the backspacing would be 4.75" and not 4" bs. with a 4" bs it would be a -19 offset. you may want to trail fit them before you purchase.

The measurements you give above mean that they will fit , but stick out .5" more than stock.(Stock wheel will be 8" wide with 4" backspace)
